Texas is a right on red state. For a lot of out of state drivers this can be very disconcerting. Right on red means that unless it is otherwise posted, it is legal to make a right turn at a red light after coming to a complete stop and verifying that lane of travel you are turning into is clear. However, be aware that the signs posting No Right On Red are usually rectangular and hung near the traffic light itself. Failure to obey can lead to a stiff fine and a traffic ticket. When it comes to driving in the state of Texas, nothing is more familiar to local drivers and many visitors than the Don’t Mess With Texas signs that decry against littering and damaging the local beauty. Many cities also post signs requesting that drivers not treat the road like an ashtray. There is more to Don’t Mess With Texas than just not littering – Don’t Mess with Texas also means don’t mess with the laws and proactively adopt defensive driving techniques to manage around careless drivers and in unsafe driving conditions.

If you are pulled over for any reason, the police officer will request the proof of automobile insurance along with your driver’s license. If you cannot provide proof of insurance, the officer will issue you a traffic violation and you will have to provide proof of insurance to the court on your assigned date.It’s also important for drivers to understand that drinking and driving is not the only issue with regard to alcohol law in the state of Texas. It is illegal to be publicly inebriated and in recent months, police raids on several bars in the Dallas Fort Worth area have resulted in arrests of individuals who were drunk. State law in Texas says Texans who are over the age of 21 have the right to buy alcohol and the right to consume alcohol. Individuals in Texas however do not have a right to public drunkenness or inebriation. It’s not just about being too drunk to drive – it’s about being too drunk period.
